Cryptic crossword No 2,493

I enjoyed this! Faves include 11a, 21a, 7d, 18d. It would be good to see your explanations as there was one I could not parse

Thanks Galviana for another very enjoyable quality puzzle. Favourtites 12a, 1d and 15d which I thought was very clever, and took me a while to understand the cryptic part of the clue.

Has taken me a little while to get to this - first of yours I've done. Great surfaces in your clues and some devilish wordplay in places. I particularly appreciated 9a, 13a, 26a, 1d, 17d among others. Not sure of the parsing for 6d, even after reading the explanation in annotated solutions. Some other definitions/wp might be a bit iffy (e.g. 4d, 5d, 6d, 8d) butI won't pick nits - nothing to spoil the enjoyment. I'll keep an eye out for more of yours in due course.
